Kelsey worked closely with Stephen to design and perfect High Bar's sleek, custom-built Tabletop bar boxes. Kelsey's vision and Stephen's craftsmanship unite form and function in these walnut and mahogany pieces, resulting in an elevated aesthetic and clever cocktail mixing solution.

These paintings were custom-made for High Bar: they can be paired to enhance your bar box's theme, store tools (most are painted on vintage cigar boxes), or simply bring an added pop of local, original artwork into your space. 

They are also magnetized on the back, so they can be stored and displayed easily on the inside of the Vintage and Cutie bar boxes' lids.
